Hello, my gorgeous fans! This past summer I had the pleasure of working with an AMAZINGLY talented young lady by the name of Monet Julia Sabel. She played the "Dream Baby" in Bombshell Baby and belted a lot of Es and Fs. Now, she and her exceedingly talented boyfriend, Charlie Rosen have come together with his "Big Band" to create one of the most wonderful EPs I've heard in a LONG while from anyone...in any genre.
First of all, the recording quality is so great. The instruments sound wonderful and the mixing is great. The arrangements are SO FUN and well done and showcase all the players fabulously. Of course the big star of the CD is, of course, Monet who is all at once sultry and playful. She uses her voice effortlessly and stylishly throughout the six tracks. I think my favorites are "Old Devil Moon," which is just a fabulous song, and the ballad, "You and I." What's so wonderful about Monet is that while the EP is a throwback to the days of Big Bands and singers like Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, etc, her singing is reminiscent of that style while being modern and current. I was delighted to see "What More Do I Need" on the CD, as it is a Sondheim song that's not performed so often, so hearing it sung so expertly with such a fun, charismatic arrangement was just a pleasure! Looking forward to hearing more from both Money and Charlie!
The EP is available on iTunes for the very reasonable price of $5.94. Get it!
ALSO! Monet and Charlie will be doing a show at the Laurie Beechman on November 19th at 7:00pm!
Veronica and Monet in Bombshell Baby!
